For the first time, it's possible to isolate and graph only Cellar-related internet traffic. The blue is stuff being uploaded. The first peak is the entire site and database being uploaded. The second one is just the database. The third is a small backup.
The green is people browsing and getting images and stuff. This first week of traffic shows that the estimates were about right. We can't fill the green part to the top, maybe to about the 2.0 line. Point is, we do have room to grow under this plan.
The first green bump: I had the Cellar answering not just to cellar.org, but also to the system's raw IP address. This caused Bing to decide it was an entirely new site on the Internets, and start collecting it and indexing it. That bump is the traffic that resulted. I figured out what was going on and shut it down.
Stuff like that happens; it's hard to tell whether someone is a web indexer, or is maliciously crushing your website. That bandwidth has to be paid for, too. Well in this case, it's not that bad. Fits under the plan. But it can be really bad.
